"PLAY SMART TO WIN is a great addition to the libraries of tennis and is invaluable to both team coaches and teaching pros." --Dick Gould, Stanford University John L.

Elements of a Powerful Tennis Stroke - Obvious to Some but Never Taught (Paperback): Shmuel Goldberg Elements of a Powerful Tennis Stroke - Obvious to Some but Never Taught (Paperback)
Shmuel Goldberg
R258 Discovery Miles 2 580 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book shares my personal knowledge of tennis. I am an amateur player. I started late, at the age of fifty-four. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always understand the game. It was impossible without knowledge. Years ago my frustration in skiing came to an end due to a picture that compared skiing to bicycle riding* It was all I needed for skiing technique to become natural to me and to become an advanced skier in a matter of days. The necessity to find the "bicycle" of tennis to really start playing was obvious to me. My background made it possible. Actually, it was two "bicycles" two elements that constitute a powerful tennis stroke. Once found, my game changed from end to end. Implementing these two elements in a stroke and practicing them, rather than chasing a ball, became a major part of my training. Hitting the ball became a result of a well-designed tennis stroke. Identifying and understanding elements of a tennis stroke require knowledge in physics. Sharing this knowledge in a simple language is all this book is about: illustration of two elements that constitute every powerful tennis stroke and then presenting the forehand, backhand, and service as a combination of these two. *The Anatomy of Skiing by R. J. Sanders, MD

At the heart of the game's growing appeal are four players: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. Never in the history of the game have so few players dominated for so long and it is their rivalry that makes this the 'Golden Age of Tennis'. However, in 2013, the dominance of the Big Four came under sustained pressure and a new era beckoned.

Will Jackson
R242 Discovery Miles 2 420 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Tennis is a fun, fast-paced sport that is a great way to stay in shape, as well as to spend time with friends and family. It is also, however, a relatively complicated game with it's own set of rules and regulations, terms to be defined, equipment needed and so on. Simply grabbing a tennis racquet and hitting the clay court are not even close to enough to prepare you for playing tennis. Tennis Beginners Guide, provides an accessible introduction to the basics of the game of tennis. The guide helps to define all the terms related to equipment, the court, hits, rules of the game, and more. It then goes on to detail the mindset of the successful tennis player, discussing the psychology of tennis and how to use it to your advantage. The guide begins by laying out the basic terms that tennis players will need to familiarize themselves with if they are to get the most out of their game. Players will need to understand the following terms: Baseline Service line Alleys The basic tennis strokes are laid out and explained: Ground strokes Volley Service Drive Stop Volley Chop Half volley/trap shot Smash Lob The guide then discusses different ball spins to begin to familiarize you with the different types of shots you will need to learn. The type of spin you put on the ball will determine not only its velocity, but the trajectory of the ball as well. This is where you can best control your shot. The tennis court itself must be to the standards defined for professional tennis courts. The guide discusses what makes an tennis court appropriately sized and laid out for traditional tennis play. With all the "nuts and bolts" defined, the Tennis Beginners Guide begins to get into the "nitty gritty" of theory of how to play tennis. A basic outline for beginners shots is provided. This section also provides a number of key hints and tips that all beginning tennis players need to remember. Keeping your eye on the ball, not the racquet, for example, is one of the biggest and hardest parts of tennis to learn. The guide then goes on to discuss how to control your strokes and manage the game. This is where different ways of actually gripping the racquet are discussed. It also goes over beginners strokes, how they are used and when best used. Court position is also discussed. Next, the guide touches on the psychology of tennis. It is a mind game as much as a physical one. Momentum is a huge psychological element. A few good serves or volleys from your opponent can make you begin to make mistakes as you get flustered trying to counter their moves. The same goes for your opponent. The guide discusses how to stay calm and to use this psychology to your advantage against your opponent. The psychology is different depending on the type of game played. The guide discusses the psychology of match play, as well as doubles matches. It also discusses the psychology of the physical nature of the game. Each type of game must be approached differently and the guide provides a detailed explanation of the ins and outs of each type of match play. While tennis is great fun and a great way to keep active, you are likely to be disappointed at your performance if you grab a racquet and hit the court. Tennis is a complex sport that requires a in depth understanding of the rules and it takes time to perfect each element of the game. And while tennis is most definitely a physical sport, it is also a mental one as well. Tennis Beginners Guide provides all the information you need to get started playing tennis properly, armed with all the information you need to start improving your game.
